I'd be concerned that with a FMJ bullet, after swagging the jacket would spring back more than the lead core, leaving the core loose. It also seems it would take quite a bit of force to do this, requiring a substantial press.

Even with lead bullets, sizing more than about .005" starts getting difficult and you start having to do it in steps with multiple dies.

Sounds like a lot of effort if it's not absolutely necessary.
